Avant garde little black dress

I wore this dress to a fundraiser that was Prom themed, and absolutely loved it! So feminine and delicate around the neckline, nice flare to the hips. Super comfortable! Just had to be careful with my nude strapless bra showing from time to time becauese of the very low neckline.

Elegant and sexy

Wore this to an event and received a lot of compliments. I wore the 8 only because it felt a bit snug around the arms. I am a DD cup and felt comfortable not wearing a bra. Loved this dress.

Gorgeous dress !!!

I wore this dress for a formal event where I was volunteering and was made a greeter. I received so many compliments from women and men - and it was a fancy event! I am normally a 4 on top and 6 on bottom. The bottom was actually a little big but the design was so cute it didn't matter. The top ended up a little tight around my arms but again the design was so gorgeous it didn't matter!! Would rent again in a heartbeat!!

Very glamorous dress!

I loved this dress! I wore it for engagement pictures while traveling and it was perfect! Easy to pack and just required a light steam to get the minor wrinkles out. It was a flattering fit. It felt like it ran slightly large (a little baggy in the back and could have been tighter around the waist), but was overall very comfortable and the slight looseness was not noticeable. (I wore a sticky bra with this dress, but I think you could probably get away with a regular strapless bra!)

Simply stunning. Snug up top, enough room in the belly and butt area to hide any bulge.

flattering and sexy LBD!

LOVED this dress! It's a little low cut so beware if you have a large chest-- but it wasn't out of control and I felt secure the whole night. This dress was SO fun to wear and I got a ton of compliments. Seriously no down side to this one.

Classy cocktail dress that feels designer

I got so many compliments on this dress. The detail that went into it was amazing and the lace and bead work was gorgeous. I would say the 6 fit a little big but the material of the dress isn't very forgiving so it's better to be a little big than too small.

Amazing fit, and the fabric is luxe but stretchy - got tons of compliments! would rent again!

A compliment the minute I walked in the door!

Extremely flattering for curvy girls. I have a larger bottom half and this dress is perfect for the curves! The top is very pretty and covers imperfections. I did not wear a bra. The zipper is extremely difficult. You will need help Zipping.

This dress was great for a glam Christmas party. The dress has very intricate beading which makes it look nicer than in pictures. Also a great dress for pear shaped women. Hides large hips and butts very well.

Modest, yet sexy dress

This is a beautiful dress. The mesh neckline makes it seem modest, but still sexy. Regarding the fit, the top was a little loose so I would recommend sizing down for your backup. From the waist down, the dress was a little more fitted with no stretch. The beading adds a nice touch of glamour, and didn't irritate or scratch my skin in any way. I had a little trouble reaching the zipper in the back, but no more than a usual. I would wear a slightly padded strapless bra to fill out the bust because it was a little loose. This might help keep the shoulders in place as well. The waist was more fitted but still allowed room. I probably would not normally choose a plunging neckline, but because of the mesh top, I felt very comfortable. One of the shoulders slipped a little, but with a tighter fit or fashion tape, I don't think it would be a problem. The dress hit directly above the knee and stayed in place well, even when sitting. The full skirt allows for plenty of movement. Because of the embellishments, this dress would be perfect with simple stud earrings and black heels. Definitely a great dress for a fancier event! As for my measurements; 13" from shoulder to shoulder, 13" from shoulder to waist, 20" from waist to knee, 17" from hip to knee.

Classic - yet unique!

Loved this dress for my office Christmas party! I normally wear a size 8, but previously received another dress my this same designer (size 8) and it was too tight (really flattened out my chest), so I opted to go a size up! So glad I did because there was plenty of room to be comfortable the whole evening. I wore a strapless bra, but it was tight enough where I would've been fine without it. My date mentioned the back was his favorite part of the dress! Also, my friend in the photo is also wearing RTR - hers is a Rachel Zoe dress.

Very cute and not fussy

Fit great, only problem is if you need a strapless bra, you need one that plunges quite low. I didn't have the right one which was ok since the lighting was low, but if you looked closely you could see my bra a bit

Pretty sheer top

I ordered this for a friend's wedding and thought it was cute but more underwhelming in person than it was in pictures. The pictures make the top look conservative yet sexy and while the top was extremely sheer it was just that and you couldn't wear a bra although it didn't feel securely fitted. I went with the 8 and felt like the top could've been more fitted and sultry looking but it ended up just looking a bit baggy and matronly on my petite frame, even with my large matronly breast-milk filled bosoms (haha) which I'd assumed would make the top more fitted. Anyway it didn't really wow me or my husband and I didn't get any compliments on it--which is rare for a rtr outfit--might look better on taller women however.

The top is really pretty but the bottom is weird.

This dress fits great but the bottom material gets really wrinkled. Both sizes arrived wrinkled, I steam and ironed the dress but it just got wrinkled again sitting in the car and church.

Beautiful dress, lovely sequin detail!

I loved the dress. The lace and sequin detail were beautiful. The skirt was very flattering for my body type. Unfortunately the dress itself was very wrinkled and as a result the skirt detail laid oddly. No bra needed, but I wish that I would have rented a size 4 to give my girls a bit more coverage and for a tighter fit.

RTR Team Review

On trend yet classic this black Marchesa is a show stopper. In a size 2 I fit perfectly on bottom but the top was a little too loose as I couldn’t wear a bra with the sheer paneling. Running true to size I would say size down for backup as it had a comfortable fit throughout the midsection. If hips are your problem area this is a great dress. At 5’ 7” this was definitely the right length as it hit just above my knee. I would wear this gown to a winter sorority formal or a wedding. The sheer paneling is straight off the runway and doesn’t need much more than a pop clutch and simple heels to wow your date and your friends at any event.

This dress is beyond stunning. It fits beautifully without being too tight. The transparent bodice detail at the top is really gorgeous, and I didn't even need a bra to wear the dress. I wore this for a rehearsal dinner and got so many compliments. I will definitely be renting this dress again for an upcoming fall wedding.

VERY CLASSY!

I really love this dress and have rented it a couple of times already. It dips down slightly in the bust area, but the mesh/nylon covering over the chest helps to make it more discreet. I'm 5'-2" and the dress falls between mid-thigh and just above the knees for me; perfect for my petite frame. If you're in-between sizes, I would take a size 2 versus a size 4, as it runs just a tad large.

Fit perfect, very true to size. Could be worn without a bra - I am a 34 C and it was fine. I got tons of compliments on this and it was very comfortable to wear for a black tie gala where I did a ton of dancing.

Perfect for a formal wedding or event.

I received so many compliments on this dress, and it fit perfectly. It was very flattering and was true to size. The skirt material is made of a strong material and doesn't ride up. The top features beautiful beading details, so no need for large earrings or a necklace to complete the look. If you want jewelry, a bracelet and stud earrings will complete the outfit. No need for a bra either, the top fit perfectly, keeping everything intact.

Stylist Review

Beautiful black dress with stunning details! This dress runs true to size so I recommend ordering your typical size. The dress is more fitted in the bust and waist, with plenty of room in the hips. I wore this dress without a bra, but it can be worn with a strapless. At 5'11 this dress hit at about 2 inches above the knee. Pair with red pumps for a classic look!
